memphisto Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Lottie's been quite badly beaten up by her hen sisters, they've plucked her bum red raw and despite a few days of us cleaning it and septi cleanse and ST, she's very sore. She's sat in a box in our kitchen chirping along to the radio, so not too bad, just don't want her getting worse, at least at our vet (an agricultural vet) has a flat fee of £17 to see and treat chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Oh dear, I hope the vet can sort her out. Sounds like she's enjoying the radio though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memphisto Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 All sorted, antibiotics and orders for a bath tomorrow! The vet was very knowledgable and only charged me for the Baytril at £3.65, so very happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
